   We have a 2003 Sidewinder where the blades will not engage. Our mechanic has pulled the valve to make sure it is opening and closing, appears to be ok. He replaced the solenoid and it seems to be magnetized but almost like it is not strong enough to pull the valve open.
   
   
   
   We are thinking the capacitor may have something to do with it but are currently otherwise STUMPED!
   
   
   
   Any thoughts are much appreciated!!!!

   Check the micro-switch on the mow/transport foot slide. It may be bad or not getting engaged fully.
   
   Good luck!
